SP8 package delivered
My July package to my buddy in the UK has arrived, and she posted imemdiately to her blog. I really appreciate that, especially since I know that she is very busy with work and household renovations.
This time I sent her a Lantern Moon needle sheath and a needle case for her circulars. I had thought of other things to sew, but didn't feel confident trying something for the first time. Since I had already made two needle cases, I decided to play safe.
I modified the proportions of my second needle case slightly. I really like the provençal fabric.
No, I didn't include the needles! I only put them in to see the effect.
It took me a while to find a button I really liked and I was undecided until the very last moment between this button and another one. I think this was a good choice.
And now, I'd better start thinking of the August package.

Your circular needle case is fabulous! The button is perfect.

The needle bag looks AWESOME!!!! I'm totally jealous. Such a lucky pal.
Did you have a pattern or did you just whip it up!?! I need to pull out my sewing machine and could use a knitting type project to motivate me.

Bobbi, no, I can't take credit for the pattern. My good friend JoShell is the one who literally whipped it up. I told her what I wanted to make (vaguely) and she figured it all out, pattern, measurements, the whole thing. After that first needle case, I made two more. Now I have to venture beyond needle cases!
